Episode 1: The Inescapable Desert Island
Scene: The coast of the desert island.
Yuuki, Tamaki, and Mifuyu had split up searching the island upon which they had so suddenly washed up.
Mifuyu
So, Tamaki? Was there anyone over that way?
Tamaki
Well, actually, there were a whole bunch of cats! Big kitties, small kitties, kitties with stripes or spots or patches... I just had to play with them for a while. They were so cute.
Mifuyu
I see, it's good to hear that there are cats...
Mifuyu
By which I mean, it's not! This isn't the time to be playing with cats!
Tamaki
L-Listen, I looked really thoroughly for people! But there wasn't anyone at all in the area I was searching!
Mifuyu
Sounds like things were the same as they were over here. There were a bunch of dogs and other small animals, but no traces of people...
Mifuyu
What about you, Yuuki...? Looking at your face, I can guess that your result was the same...
Tamaki
Sigh... And also, I'm getting hungry now...
Mifuyu
So am I. We might not know the exact time, but it should be about time for dinner. Our boat's gone, and we didn't catch any fish anyway... We need to do something about food...
Mifuyu
Ah... Over there in the ocean, I can see the shadows of some big fish! Yuuki, Tamaki, let's work together to catch some!
Mifuyu
Yuuki, you wade into the water and chase the fish this way. Then, I can use my spear to launch them into the air, and finally, Tamaki can catch them!
Tamaki
Got it! Okay, Yuuki, go chase some fish over towards Mifuyu!
Yuuki
1. "Wait, wait --"
2. Creep through the water.
Option 1.
Mifuyu
Right, Yuuki, good work! Just like that!
Option 2.
Mifuyu
You don't have to catch them yourself! Just chase them this way!
End of branches.
Mifuyu
Here they come! Tamaki, catch the fish that I throw into the air! Now -- !
Tamaki
Leave it to me! Catch!
Tamaki
I caught it!
Mifuyu
Nice! Let's roast it and eat it right away! I'll gather some wood to make a fire! These are all the kinds of jobs that I don't usually get to experience! Hi-yah!
Later.
Tamaki
Whew... That was delicious... I'm full now!
Mifuyu
Ha ha, we've really got some decent survival skills!
Tamaki
Ah, there's some bushy grass over here that we could use like a sleeping bag! Let's spend the night here!
Mifuyu
Yes, we've all been quite active today... Let's get some rest. Good night...
The next morning.
Tamaki
Good morning!
Mifuyu
This grass was more comfortable than I'd expected! Next up... It would be ideal if we could find something to get off this island with...
Mifuyu
There are still some areas that we didn't search yesterday, but... There are numerous monsters prowling around those areas, so looking there seemed inefficient at the time.
Tamaki
But now that we're all rested up, we can go together and eliminate them!
Mifuyu
Yes, let's do that! Everyone, together, this way!
Later.
Mifuyu
As I'd thought... There are monsters over there. Let's drive them off quickly!
Monster
Roaaaar!
Tamaki
Nya ha, you're not going to scare me with that. Hoy, hoy! Kitty Cat... Final Break!
Monster
Roaaaar!
The monsters are defeated.
Mifuyu
Wow, we beat those monsters more easily than I'd expected. Are the monsters here... exceptionally weak?
Mifuyu
Well, that's fine by me. Let's search the area. What's over here... Oh?
Mifuyu
Look! There's a raft washed up on shore!
Tamaki
You're right? Does it look usable?
Mifuyu
Yeah, and the logs look tightly bound together, too... There don't seem to be any problems with it. Let's set sail with this!
Tamaki
Yeah! Let's leave right away!
Scene: At sea.
Tamaki
Whew... With the wind at our backs, the raft is moving along steadily... We can say goodbye to that desert island!
Mifuyu
I don't know exactly where that island was, but if we head roughly north, we should probably reach the Marjan Coast eventually. I'm glad I have some experience navigating from back in the day!
Mifuyu
At one point, I was wondering if we were going to make it... But with these calm winds, everything should be okay!
Tamaki
Ahh... what a relief...
Mifuyu
It really is... I'm so glad, I feel like taking a nap...
Tamaki
We're still adrift at sea, so it might be too early to be feeling this cheerful...
Mifuyu
It really does feel warm... and comfortable...
Scene: Back on the island.
Tamaki
Mmm... Nyaaah!? We've washed up on a beach again!?
Mifuyu
H-Huh!? W-Where did the raft go!? Yuuki, you wake up, too!
Mifuyu
Ooh... What a blunder... How could I have fallen asleep...
Tamaki
I mean, a tiny raft like that was never going to work! We need a bigger raft that won't sink...
Mifuyu
You're right... But we'd finally found that raft after all that looking -- it's not like we're just going to happen upon an actual boat or something...
Tamaki
Ahhh! There's a small boat washed up over there!
Mifuyu
No way!?
Mifuyu
It's true... There's a small boat that doesn't seem damaged anywhere...
Tamaki
I can't wait a moment longer to get back to Landsol! Mifuyu! Yuuki! Let's go right now!
Mifuyu
Y-Yeah! I'll make sure not to fall asleep this time... Okay, let's go!
Scene: At sea.
Tamaki
Ahhh, the wind feels so good...
Tamaki
This boat looks sturdier than the raft from before, so it won't get pulled under by the waves.
Mifuyu
Man, we sure are lucky! We'll definitely be okay this time!
Tamaki
Yawn... what a relief... we'll be okay... nya...
Scene: Back on the island.
Tamaki
We're not okay one bit! We're washed up on shore again!
Mifuyu
W-What!? The boat is gone again... And seriously, I fell asleep again!?
Tamaki
Mifuyu, you sleep too much! You need to take your role as navigator more seriously!
Mifuyu
You were the one who fell asleep first, Tamaki!
Tamaki
I'm a cat, so it's only natural!
Tamaki
But what do we do now... If the small boat wasn't enough, then we'll need an even bigger boat...
Mifuyu
Something like that isn't just going to happen...
Tamaki
Ah, Mifuyu! There's a gigantic luxury cruise liner with a first-class cabin, a pool, and a billiards room, washed up on shore!
Mifuyu
Something like that can't be real!
Tamaki
No, I would never tell a lie. All we can do is try that one out! Everyone will be worried if we don't make it back soon!
Mifuyu
... I guess you're right, and if that big boat is already there... Okay, let's go!
Scene: At sea.
Tamaki
Wahoo! So big! So fast! So comfortable!
Tamaki
If this giant boat won't cut it, then we're totally screwed!
Mifuyu
Yeah... If this doesn't make it, then... we're... totally...
Tamaki
We're... totally...
Scene: Back on the island.
Tamaki
Ahhhhh! That one didn't make it, either! We're back here!
Mifuyu
W-What's going on here...?
With every attempt they made at escaping the island ending with them back where they started, the three of them were at a complete loss.
